Automotive Black Technology Chapter 1581: :Ginger is still spicier
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of automotive black technology!
After the first practice match ended, the entire stadium erupted in cheers.
In the past few seasons, people have been quite dissatisfied with Mercedes-Benz's dominance of the world due to its technological advantages. This feeling is a bit similar to the Bulls during the NBA's six consecutive championships. Everyone knows that Jordan dominated the game. Although many Mercedes-Benz fans like this feeling of creating legends, for most fans, this This kind of crushing game is not entertaining in terms of viewing.
It's like a duel between two swordsmen. You come and I win, and the suspense is not exciting until the last moment is revealed. If you know before the duel that one of the swordsmen is a rookie and the other swordsman is actually the leader of his mother's martial arts alliance, it would be meaningless.
The current F1 is roughly in this state.
This practice session allowed the audience to see a brand new F1 landscape and the hope of the rise of Williams, an established team.
This brings people indescribable freshness and expectations!
Amid cheers and applause from the crowd, F1 Betting also released bonuses for the practice sessions. People went crazy when they saw the odds of 1 to 5 for Williams No. 2 driver Armond Ronaldo and the jaw-dropping bonus of more than 50 million pounds.
Countless people have set their sights on the Williams Racing Team's pit area, not for anything else but because there is a lucky guy there who is the envy of everyone - Li Fanyu!
About ten minutes after the first practice match, the VIP manager who had placed bets on Li Fanyu came over with a complicated look on his face.
"Mr. Li, Mr. Li!"
When he heard someone calling him, Li Fanyu pulled away from the celebration of the motorcade and saw the person coming. He laughed: "Hey, it's you."
"Mr. Li, congratulations on winning a bonus of 55 million pounds. After tax, your bonus is still 41.59 million pounds. May I ask how this money... is paid to you? In your hand?"
Li Fan smiled foolishly, took out his business card with his personal account printed on it from his arms and handed it over.
Seeing that the manager was trying to force a smile, he couldn't help but wonder: "Why, you feel like you're not very happy that I won the lottery?"
"Ahem, no. Mr. Li, I'm really happy for you, but... in my first month as a VIP account manager, I had such a big loss in my hand. I'm afraid it will be tragic. ”
……
Li Fanyu won the big prize, so naturally he couldn't just put the money in his pocket. After the practice session, Li Fanyu directly hosted a banquet for the entire team, except for the two drivers who needed to strictly control their diet and work schedule, as well as some technical engineers who needed to adjust the cars.
Alonso, Cheng Ke and others naturally also participated.
At dinner, Alonso drank a lot of wine and sat next to Li Fanyu while everyone was enjoying themselves. He asked his boss very formally to let him return to F1 and participate as an official driver. Williams Racing.
In fact, given Brother Tou’s age, he is not without a foothold in F1. Less than forty, his competitive form is still there. And even though he quit F1, the car king did not abandon his skills, but seamlessly took up his post in the FE Zhengxin team. Although his form has declined from his peak, his experience and mentality more than make up for it.
Going back to F1 is not a problem for Li Fanyu.
But as far as the current Williams team is concerned, the two young drivers must be focused on training. In Alonso's current condition, if he joins Williams, he will have to lower his price and return as a test driver. Otherwise, the team will have to lay off one driver.
From the team's perspective, bringing Alonso back is not a suitable business. The Williams team has always been a team without emotions and sentiments, and all its goals are just to achieve better results on the track. So Li Fanyu knew that Alonso's request might not be realized in a short time.
But seeing the uncontrollable hope in this old man's eyes, Li Fanyu couldn't bear to refuse directly. After thinking about it, he pulled Brother Tou over and whispered in his ear.
"Are you serious?!"
After hearing Li Fanyu’s secret arrangement, Alonso’s eyes widened in surprise, “Are you really going to do this?”
Li Fanyu nodded deeply: "That's right. So give me another half season. Next season, I guarantee with my reputation and personality that I will definitely let you regain your place in this arena. Lose everything and gain everything you have never gained. ”
Alonso pondered for a moment, then excitedly picked up the wine glass in his hand and drank it down in one gulp.
"Okay, I believe you!"
……
The practice sessions at Silverstone are divided into three sessions.
In the next two practice sessions, the Williams team, which had attracted great attention from other teams, was targeted. There were constant provocations from other cars, forcing the Williams team's two cars to perform. However, in order to protect the car, in the next two practice sessions, the team's technical director issued regular test tactics to the two drivers.
The first day at Silverstone ended in a relatively smooth manner after the stunning debut of Williams Racing’s No. 2 car.
According to the schedule, the next day will be the qualifying match.
Generally speaking, in practice sessions, everyone just runs and has fun, tests the performance of the car, and understands the situation of each team. Therefore, unless there are special circumstances, each team will not work hard in the practice session. Each team will not issue special tactical instructions to the drivers. Most of the time, the drivers are allowed to perform freely, or test the track according to the team's technical requirements, collect data for qualifying and the race, and make adjustments.
Qualifying is different.
Because it is related to the starting order and pole position competition in the race, a good starting order and the first place on the grid will have a huge impact on the race. So in qualifying, each team is really having fun.
When the time came for the bayonets to see red, each team showed their true abilities. Various tactical routines were frequently performed, and the drivers also used all their skills and techniques.
Different from yesterday's practice session, during the qualifying session, the problems of the two drivers of the Williams team were exposed.
Amondero's tactics were not implemented properly, and under the suppression of the No. 2 Swiss-French car and the No. 2 Mercedes-Benz car, he could not outrun yesterday's momentum. The performance of the car was not fully utilized under the tactical suppression of other teams. However, the No. 1 car driven by Javier was suppressed by the No. 2 car because the driver was technically conservative and relied too much on the team's tactics. It's hard to stand alone without responding to the situation.
After qualifying, the two cars took the starting positions of No. 4 and No. 12 respectively.
The pole position for the race was won by Hamilton, who performed stably and was escorted by his teammates throughout the race.
Seeing this result, Li Fanyu felt a little uncomfortable.
Damn it, you’re not good as a driver, you’re too young!
If you do this, won’t you lose your eleven million?
It was when he was worried that Alonso looked at Javier and smiled.
"This guy is completely running in my style. But he only learned a superficial lesson and did not grasp the essence of running with tire protection."
Li Fanyu thought about it and patted him on the shoulder, "Fernando, otherwise... during the race, will you give the team some advice?"
Alonso smiled heartily, "No problem! But next season, you have to run the No. 2 position for me."
Li Fan's face darkened.
